APPLY INSTAGRAM FILTERS

14. • Link to your web.stagram profile somewhere from your website. Most of us strongly push Facebook, Twitter or
LinkedIn, but if you’re serious about Instagram, then link to it as well…especially from your mobile website.
• Follow “Suggested Users” by clicking “@(YourAccountName)” tab and selecting “Find Friends” then ”Suggested
Users”. Following users that have similar interests as you may encourage them to follow you in return. Just
following everybody will gain minimal followers.
• Check that the “Photos are private option” if off. It should be by default. This is a no-brainer. Obviously if you
wish to gain followers, your photos should not be private.
• Invite friends. This is a no-brainer too. Invite your friends, customers and followers of other social networks. You
can do this through Instagram. These are the people most likely willing to follow you or your business.
TIPS TO GET INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS

15. • Only post your best pics. Quality is better than quantity. Try to make each picture interesting, engaging,
mysterious, colorful, with unique angles or just plain funny.
• Thoroughly describe your images. You can comment on each picture so put some time into the writing.
• Use hashtags, especially popular ones. Popular tags include #photooftheday, #instagood, #like, #picoftheday,
#beautiful etc (Find popular hash tags here). Tagging your photos with these hashtags, when appropriate, can
increase the odds of your images being seen by others.
• Engage by following others and commenting/liking. By engaging with others, you will likely attract some
followers, especially if your photos are interesting. Commenting on a persistent basis will help tremendously in
attaining followers. Commenting on popular photos works very well, but be authentic with your comments and not
advertorial.
• Geotagging is important like hashtags, geotagging provides another data point that can be used to categorize
and display content. On Instagram, each defined location has its own page, which includes a map of the location
and any photos taken there.
